After Meng Wei finished speaking, both the reporters and the guests fell silent for a brief moment.
Initially, they all thought that Huachao and Ruyang had compromised and made certain concessions.
But when they heard what came next, they were all completely bewildered.
The reporters were shocked, while the guests were terrified.
While the impact of an HCH-MR might be unacceptable, it shouldn't be enough to leave people starving.
After all, they've been in business for so many years, they still have some influence.
However, now Huachao is launching a new computer, isn't that just another attempt to seize market share?
What's wrong? You sold a $1500 computer too cheaply, so you're planning to go for something over $2000 now?
They're even emphasizing the word "expensive," isn't that obviously trying to squeeze out the high-end market?
Who the hell gave you this advice? Make him step forward, and we promise we won't beat him to death.
The group of colleagues who came to watch the spectacle had mixed feelings.
But the reporters' eyes began to gleam with anticipation; there was big news coming.
A reporter excitedly raised his hand, "Mr. Meng, what are you talking about with these high-end computers?"
Meng Wei smiled shyly, "Actually, it's nothing. The main thing is that we have made some breakthroughs in graphics card and sound card technology, and we also plan to apply LED display technology to laptops to further improve the user experience."
After a pause, he said helplessly, "Sigh, because it's a new technology, the cost has increased a lot, so our new computer will be priced quite high, expected to exceed 20,000 Dragon Coins."
New technologies for graphics cards and sound cards?
Another breakthrough?
Damn it, is this something a human being should say?
Upon hearing this, his colleagues all gasped in shock.
Sound card is one thing, but graphics card can really be a problem.
If all of this is true, then the international computer market will be swept by an even greater wave of Chinese influence.
That's impossible, absolutely impossible.
In the fields of graphics cards and processors, who isn't dominated by a few major companies?
It's one thing for Huachao to develop all its components independently, but does it also intend to surpass the major powers?
So, your Dragon Kingdom intends to be self-sufficient and doesn't plan to buy electronic technology products from other international companies.
What a boastful tone.
Surprised, the guests present actually breathed a sigh of relief.
In their view, Meng Wei was simply exaggerating.
This high-end computer is probably just a smokescreen.
If that's the case, then they can see what kind of jokes Hua Chao will make.
The group's feelings were like riding a roller coaster, with ups and downs, a mix of panic and excitement.
At this point, the reporter asked, "Mr. Meng, when is your company's new product expected to be launched?"
"Probably in June, at which time we will release the relevant data," Meng Wei said confidently.
"Has your company considered expanding production capacity to meet the international market's demand for solid-state drives?"
"Well... because we have invested a lot of money in research and development, we are not able to expand production capacity at the moment."
"Has your company not considered financing and going public? That should solve the funding problem."
"We are not ready in this regard yet, but of course we will consider it if necessary."
"What are your company's thoughts on shared solid-state drive technology?"
The reporter bombarded him with questions, gradually revealing his sharp edge.
Meng Wei answered cautiously, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Upon hearing the reporter's final question, he thought to himself, "Here it comes."
"Excuse me, reporter, what chip technologies are currently being shared? Let's not even talk about free sharing; what patent licenses are being offered?"
"This... I don't know much about it." The reporter hesitated for a moment before answering.
Meng Wei laughed and said, "I can tell you, no. Not a single one! So, wasn't it presumptuous of you to ask me this question?"
In the ensuing exchange, the reporter who had asked the question was rendered speechless.
Why should other countries' technologies not be shared and instead subject to technology blockades, while China's technologies are shared with the whole world?
The fact that such a hegemonic claim could be brought up in this setting clearly indicates ulterior motives.
Just as Meng Wei was secretly pleased with his flawless answer, another foreign reporter jumped out.
"President Meng, I believe that China's current level of technology is insufficient to drive the development of such cutting-edge technologies. Sharing them with other countries would be more beneficial to technological development, such as with the United States."
That's quite a blunt statement.
Because we are stronger than you, your scientific research results should be used by us.
Meng Wei looked at the reporter with a gloomy expression. "Are you jet-lagged? If our Dragon Country can't promote the development of cutting-edge technology, then how did we develop a 60G solid-state drive? How did we produce 90-nanometer chips? The United States isn't much better, is it?"
The tension was building, and all the colleagues wore solemn expressions.
Although everyone manufactures computers, only a few companies truly possess independent chip manufacturing capabilities.
However, companies like the Yang Group are now ahead of countless large international corporations.
The reporter, unsure how to respond, stubbornly insisted, "How can your chips compare to those of the United States? Please don't be so arrogant."
"In our Dragon Country, we believe in speaking with facts. Whether we can do it or not, everyone can wait and see. If we have the ability, let's compare our products squarely. I don't know who's afraid."
Meng Wei waved his fist in the air, uttered a harsh remark, then bowed and walked backstage.
Continuing this interview is pointless; there's no need for him to waste any more time.
The video footage from the scene was delivered to Su Wu immediately.
Su Wu edited the video and disseminated it to the international internet as quickly as possible.
The main focus of the video, besides Meng Wei's remarks, was the ugly faces of those foreign media reporters.
As the saying goes, justice resides in the hearts of the people, and everyone can see who is right and who is wrong.
In fact, these unreasonable questions actually show that they are currently unable to cope with the technology that China has suddenly developed.
Anyone with common sense can see this, and it's actually a good thing for China's development.
International businessmen are human too; their core motivation is still profit.
As long as there are enough benefits to attract them, who cares whether the great beauty imposes sanctions or not?
Moreover, if Huawei can really develop new, stable graphics cards, sound cards, and other products, the landscape of the computer industry will likely change.
If you don't place your bet now, when will you?
After the video was released, many wealthy tycoons quietly began buying plane tickets to China.
They wanted to meet with Su Wu to discuss cooperation and seize the initiative.
Perhaps in the future, Longguo Technology will stand out in the international market and will no longer be the one being bullied.
